Holy Mother of GodYou've got to go faster than that to get to the top.Dirty old mountainAll covered in smoke, she can turn you to stoneSo you better start doing it right better start doing it right.

You're halfway up and you're halfway downAnd the pack on your back is turning you around.Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and rememberYou don't look back whatever you do.Better start doing it right.

On your left and on your rightCrosses are green and crosses are blueYour friends didn't make it through.Out of the night and out of the darkInto the fire and into the fightWell that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho!

Through a crack in Mother Earth,Blazing hot, the molten rockSpills out over the land.And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away, Hey! Hey! Hey!If you don't want to boil as well,B-B-Better start the danceD-D-Do you want to dance with me.

The music's playing the notes are rightPut your left foot first and move into the light.The edge of this hill is the edge of the worldAnd if you're going to cross you better start doing it right better start doing it right.
